I have been involved in the movement for social and global change for several years, working with organisations such as Oxfam, CND and Schumacher UK on fundraising, communications and organisational strategic development.

In recent years my work interests have turned to more theoretical issues, leaving my role as Chief Executive of fundraising agency TW CAT to undertake a number of projects, including the development of social initiatives, the provision of consultancy to the not-for-profit sector, the completion of an MA in Philosophy and the continuation of my study and writing on philosophical and other issues.

My first book 'Modern life - as good as it gets?' was published in October 2008. I have also published articles in a number of magazines.

I have established two organisations:

ChangeStar - a mixture of think tank, consultancy and incubator of social initiatives - that seeks a more sustainable, just and intellectually coherent world. Please visit www.changestar.co.uk for more details, plus free downloads, papers and reports. Join the ChangeStar mailing list to stay in touch with our work.

Life² - an organisation that helps people to 'live well' - to live happy, wise and meaningful lives within the pressure and complexity of the modern world. It offers ideas, information and tools to help people get more out of life, see things more clearly and live with greater wisdom. We do this by offering a range of different things - including publications, courses, resources and consultancy. Visit www.lifesquared.org.uk for more details.
